Commonly used for exercise, recreation, hydrotherapy, and leisure, swimming pool like any other natural water body is vital and needs regular maintenance for its longer operational ability. This swimming pool maintenance requires various physical, chemical and technological aspects to keep it free of safe, germs free and sparkling at all times and it’s not an easy task.
“Nobody likes jumping
into a dirty pool”
Swimming pool is
continuously filled with visibly clean but untreated water, oxidizing minerals,
and other materials that might not be good for swimmer’s skin. The conditions
around any pool are ideal for microbial growth, which calls for continuous
monitoring. Pool water, interior and filter are three major components that
need to be taken care of to keep any pool in good and swimmable condition. Now,
let us understand some common issues faced by pools.
·
Pool water often gets dirty with leaves, twigs, animal
droppings, insects, bugs, etc since it is mostly in open surroundings. Not
only limited to it, swimmers may leave behind saliva, mucous, dead skins, etc.
·
Pool water may undergo algal bloom if not used for a
long period of time. Since the water is stagnant, it may act as a breeding
space for mosquitoes, insects, etc.
·
The water turns acidic, after a point of time, causing
irritation to eyes, nose, and throat of swimmers, and corroding metallic
components in the pool.
·
Alkalinity of pool water rises when the pH level of water rises
causing skin irritation and corrosion in tiles, floors, and other pool
components
